What Is POKÉTOON?
POKÉTOON is Pokémon’s web anime series featuring a collection of individual stories starring Pokémon and their Trainers.
Unlike the main Pokémon anime, POKÉTOON allows each episode to experiment with different animation styles, characters and storytelling approaches.
Over the years, the series has delivered everything from funny and light-hearted Pokémon adventures to more emotional and unusual stories.
The format also gives Pokémon that don’t always get much screen time in the main anime an opportunity to take centre stage.
